Adobe Target Premium: New Personalization Tool Launches

“Time and time again, it’s clear to us that Adobe values the feedback of its own customers in developing and continuing to evolve a best-class personalization solution like Adobe Target,” said Deepak Nair, vice president and head of digital intelligence at U.S. Bank, in a statement. “At U.S. Bank, we’re constantly evaluating different, unique ways to leverage Adobe Target for our campaigns, and with these advances in Adobe Target Premium, we’re looking forward to taking advantage of a strong package of advanced testing and automated personalization capabilities to meet and exceed our business goals.”
Adobe Target now taps into Adobe Analytics data, creating an automatic, two-way feed between optimization activities and marketing analytics. As a result, marketers can now dissect results based on any number of audience segments and success metrics available within their data, even after the campaign runs.
Marketers need to optimize mobile app experiences to drive sales and realize a solid return on their investment, Adobe said. Adobe Experience Manager provides a mobile app development platform for both developers and marketers. And through Adobe Marketing Cloud for Mobile, Adobe Target pays it off, offering integrated optimization capabilities like A/B testing of in-app content and targeting experiences based on location and lifecycle data.
‘”When it comes to our marketing efforts, there can’t be a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach,” said Siping Roussin, senior manager of optimization and personalization at Lenovo, in a statement. “The challenge is determining the right activities to deliver the most optimized experiences possible. Working with Adobe Target, we’ve been able to amplify our efforts in reaching specific audience segments with personalized content, resulting in over 12x return on site visitors becoming customers. As we continue to pursue innovative ways to deliver compelling and relevant experiences to our customers we’re looking forward to what’s to come in Adobe Target Premium.”

The foundation of Adobe Target Premium is a step-by-step framework that brings together activities such as advanced, experience-level testing, automated personalization, offer optimization, and intelligent cross-selling, all based on one line of code for implementation, Adobe officials said. A visual experience composer enables marketers to directly interact with their sites, easily creating and targeting multiple experiences to different audiences, optimizing against appropriate success metrics— with no technical skills required.

Adobe Target Premium also features best practices and expert onboarding. Adobe Target Premium includes access to strategic services to speed implementation and usage, including ongoing optimization roadmap support and strategic advice from experienced industry experts to manage and run campaigns on behalf of customers. Services include developing testing, targeting and personalization strategies; a prioritized list of site areas and optimization campaigns to run in each area; reviewing competitive reports; optimization insights and impact from analytics data; implementation of privacy-centric consumer opt-outs; and ROI analysis.
